Infogrames Entertainment recently reported revenues for the first half of the fiscal year 1999 of $197.6 million and increase of 36 percent over the same period last year.

Bruno Bonnell, chairman and CEO of Infogrames attributed the strong performance in part to the popularity of its N64 title Mission Impossible, which has sold 1.13 million units since its release in July 1998. The company was also happy with the performance of the N64 title V-Rally that has been released in Europe. A US release for V-Rally is scheduled for March.

Titles scheduled for release in 1999 include the Looney Tunes features Looney Tunes: Space Race and Taz Express for the N64.
